"Bands, bands, and more bands. I’ve been around bands since I can remember. It isn’t hard to visualize “seeing” them through the camera eye. The greatest live band photographers in the world, through their work, have shown me every angle I need to emulate – literally, as well as technically."

"I specialize in fearless live photography. We arrange how many color and/or bw rolls you’d like to shoot, discuss any scenes you may want to capture - and then just let me go bananas. I provide hardcopy photos or web-ready CD, which is preferable in this age of putting your photos directly onto your website."

Jon also shoots the occasional headshot and modelling client, as seen below. His home studio suffices for small-scale photo shoots.

VENUES:
 

I encourage any bands who are performing at venues with parcan lightshows to hire a pro rock photographer, so that the "stadium" look of the high stage and parcans doesn't go to waste.

Galaxy Theater, Anaheim
The Gig, West Hollywood

SUPER REDHEAD

LEE GORDON
Photo Session: Nov 2004. Home studio. This is an example of a "treated" picture. What used to take hours and involved chemicals and a darkroom, can now be done in seconds via a computer program.
